Traps you can't disarm with 10 Mechanics? Od Nua level 11.

[otakon17]

Seriously, how am I supposed to around this then? Just hope my tank survives the death ring even though he has 10 mechanics and should be able to disarm ANY trap.

You can always use a scroll that boosts mechanics by 3. On top of the your castle can provide mechanics + 1.

But it's TEN. It's MAXIMUM level, you shouldn't need it any higher. I have 10 Mechanics, the MAXIMUM rank possible outside of boots and there are traps I can't disarm completely baring the way? Plus I have no scrolls as such...

omg just send a tank a let him take a hit.

10 is not the maximum Mechanics level. I myself levelled it up to 11 and you can go even higher.

Yeah but the only way you can go higher is with the command console pretty sure...

[ppaladin123]

Nope. The background bonuses you get at character creation don't count toward the increasing cost of leveling a skill. My Durnce has mechanics 11 at level 11. My Cipher has lore 12.

You look like troll. Just hired rogue and got 11 mechanics on lvl 7-8.

10 is NOT the maximum level. I have characters with 14 Lore. *sigh* Seriously, how do posts like this happen? OP is arguing with everyone who posts to help when they tell him you can have higher skills?

12 Mechanics is the highest you need to disarm ALL traps in the game.

Have a night with Gjefa at the Salty Mast for a +1 bonus:

Sleep at your Stronghold, the Black Hound or Fox & Goose for a +1 bonus:
http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Rest#Resting_locations

Wear the Gloves of Manipulation for a +2 bonus:
http://pillarsofeternity.gamepedia.com/Gloves_of_Manipulation

By doing these 3 things (as they should all stack), you can get 12 Mechanics from a score of only 8.

Not troll just working from incomplete information.

YES if you pick ROGUE as your class and any background that has a bonus to Mechanics AND put ALL of your skill points, you can reach a Mechanics level of 14 without using a scroll(which you can't make and far as I know is random loot only) or the Gloves of Manipulation(which in my game, never dropped/showed up in the shops).

I'm pretty sure the the bonus would wear off from Gjefa before you got to Caed Nua or it would by the time you wake up but I'd have to check and that'll take time.

Off-topic, why? There aren't any scrolls beyond level 5 and not a single skillcheck beyond that either(far as I've seen).

than you have no problem. Hire rogue and disarm traps.

[Noble Ten]

I felt the same... couldnt beleive how high those traps needed..... It makes you do a suiside run,, really only way to handle it is a high endurance characters :/

There are level 6 scrolls, which require 12 Lore to use.

Engage some enemy in melee to unlock summoning and use the skeletons to trigger the trap. Better yet, hope that someone makes a mod to fix this nonsense
